I recently purchased a domain through Cloudflare, with the intention of using it to host an Express.js app I previously had on Render. I wanted to find a new place to host it because the load time for the Render free plan is abysmal. I also have multiple dependencies that I used in the Node JS development environment, like Crypto, but I could find alternatives. My order of preference for the next step would be:
- Find a way to host my existing Express and EJS app on Cloudflare with the free plan
- Host it on Cloudflare with a paid plan
- Find another provider who will host it for free with minimal latency
- Or, choose another library that is similar to Express that can be hosted on the Cloudflare free plan.
I have tried multiple different hosting providers, as well as trying to port it to Hono, the Cloudflare recommended framework, but all attempts have ended with unsatisfactory results.
